Product Description

Brush up those keyboard skills -- and capture your musical ideas -- on the super-affordable Casio CTK-4200. This is one of only a handful of portable keyboards with an on-board 6-track recorder that lets you record 5 of your own songs. Get inspired with 600 built-in tones. Split or layer the keyboard -- play bass in your left hand and piano with your right. Jam along with 180 built-in rhythms, choose from 90 arpeggiator patterns, and add reverb and chorus effects to round out your tone. The Casio CTK-4200 is perfect for the piano student that's ready to start creating original music.

Step-Up Lesson System

Designed to get novice pianists playing right out of the box, Casio's built-in Step-Up Lessons guide you through 152 built-in songs at your own pace by breaking them down into easy-to-learn phrases. The large, backlit LCD display shows musical notation and correct hand positioning, while you listen and repeat each phrase with your right hand, left hand, and finally both hands together. The CTK-4200 evaluates your performance so you can track you progress. There's even a Music Challenge game that tests your reaction time as you play notes in response to prompts on the screen. Intermediate players will love the built-in Chord Book; great for looking up the notes of chords you don't know how to play. You can even record yourself playing along with any of the 152 built-in songs.

600 Sounds and Built-in 6-Track Recorder

Even a fledgling keyboardist can create songs with the Casio CTK-4200's built-in recorder. With 6 tracks to play with, you can record the right-hand part first, then layer in the left hand, and have tracks to spare for more parts. Create a lush arrangement with 600 built-in tones, including stereo grand piano, organ, violin, flute, orchestra, and much more. (If you ever get lost in those 600 tones, the CTK-4200 has a handy dedicated Piano button to get you back where you started.) You can even turn on Casio's Auto-Accompaniment feature to record rhythm, bass, or chords to your song automatically. And you can transpose the keyboard up to one octave up or down, to give you access to a traditional piano's full 88 notes.

Connect With USB or Standard 1/8" Audio

In addition to a standard 1/8-inch headphone output for silent practicing, the CTK-4200 sports a 1/8-inch audio input, which transforms the keyboard into a stereo speaker system for an external MP3 player. Play along with your iPod! You can even sample up to 10 seconds from your MP3 player (or any external source) with the CTK-4200's sampling function -- grab a drum sound or an audio clip from your computer, and trigger it from the keyboard. Or plug the class-compliant USB port into your Mac or PC to use it as a MIDI controller with most popular composition software. When you're ready to unplug and go mobile, pop in six AA batteries and enable the Auto Power Off function to save battery life. At only 9.5 pounds, you can carry this portable keyboard just about anywhere.

"Great product"

Overall:
I am so glad I purchased this keyboard through zZounds. The price was right, shipping was free and it was delivered just days after my order.I misunderstood and thought my purchase included a stand and headphones, which it didn't, but it did include music books that I wasn't expecting.I purchased this economical keyboard before investing in a more expensive digital piano to make sure my renewed interest in playing the piano isn't a passing fancy.I have spent hours practicing. I would buy one if these for each of my friends who express an interest in learning to play the piano.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?
